      I live in a very dysfunctional strata scheme consisting of 3 lots. All 3 owners are on the executive committee. There was recently a disagreement between us on one issue affecting my proposed private renovation (which the other two did not agree with). After that disagreement, the other two owners and the strata manager have joined the forces against me on every single issue. They have completely isolated me, ignored me etc. The communications between the strata manager and the other two owners are not sent to me, even though I am on the executive committee too. Some specific issues are:

      1.I have a problem with the strata manager lying in the minutes of the last AGM. I have repeatedly requested the manager to correct the minutes with no success. The manager just keeps ignoring my requests.
      What are my options – how can I ‘force the strata manager to record the correct minutes?

      2. The strata manager is not attending to my requests for repairs. I have broken tiles in the front and back of my town house. I have emailed her a number of times, but the manager keeps ignoring my requests. The strata manager treats the other 2 owners favourably and attends to their queries promptly.
      What are my options in ‘forcing’ the strata manager to start organising repairs? The other two owners will not support anything that does not directly benefit their own lots (town houses), and have joined forces against me.

      3. Recently we appointed a new strata manager. I requested the strata manager to forward us a copy of the signed strata management agreement. The other 2 owners have got it, but not me. The strata manager keeps ignoring my requests for a copy of the agreement, and she treats the other two owners favourably.
      How can I ‘force’ the strata manager to send me a copy of the signed strata management agreement?

      4. Do EC meeting minutes need to be approved by all EC meeting members? Can an EC member just write minutes and send them to the strata manager without asking for my sign off? As mentioned previously, the other 2 EC members have ganged up against me and are pushing their own agendas avoiding me. So if I complained to them about the inaccurate minutes, they would just ignore me.

      5. How can I call an EC meeting in NSW? I am not aware that we have a secretary, so can I just send an email notice of the EC? What is the minimum period of the notice prior the EC meeting?
      Can the EC meeting go ahead if the other 2 members don’t attend – should I just go ahead with the meeting on my own, make decisions, record the minutes and send them to the strata manager/other EC members?
      As mentioned previously, the situation is very hostile, and the other 2 EC members have joined forces with the strata manager against me.

      6. I have a number of issues with the recently appointed strata management company. The strata manager keeps ignoring all my requests for maintenance, AGM minutes corrections, sending a copy of the strata management agreement and various other matters. I live in a small strata complex consisting of 3 lots. The other 2 owners have ganged up against me on a number of issues, and the strata manager favours them. I am pretty much isolated, and my requests are ignored by the EC and the strata manager.
      What is the process of lodging a complaint against the strata manager?
      Can a strata manager be dismissed, if 1 owner is in favour and 2 are against the dismissal, due to the lack of service and a dysfunctional OC?
